NETGEAR said it has improved performance and lowered prices on some of its ReadyNASes.

The company said new 4.2.17 firmware increases high-definition (HD) video playback and transfer speeds by more than 50 percent as measured by Intel NAS Performance Toolkit benchmarking. The new firmware also adds support for 3 TB drives to NETGEAR's Intel Atom-based Ultra and Ultra Plus NASes.
